The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Jewel Maker 9/2, Course winner. Latest win at Redcar in August. 16/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap back at that venue (10f, good) 31 days ago. Should give another good account from last winning mark. 8yo whose form can be up and down but he's on last winning mark and is effective over C&D.

2nd (6) (9/4 +18%) My Harrison George
2.25
9/4(+18%)
(6) My Harrison George 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 82 days ago, keeping on. Less exposed than most he meets here and one to consider on tapeta debut. Lightly raced 3yo who was an encouraging third at Ayr last time & could have more to offer.

3rd (5) (13/2 +0%) Isle Of Wolves
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(5) Isle Of Wolves 13/2, Losing run goes back to 2019 but he again ran well when fourth at Beverley (10f) back in August. Cheekpieces replace the visor back from a break. Not out of things for all he could do with brushing up his slow starts. Losing spell goes back to 2019 but lots of good runs in the meantime; could be thereabouts.

4th (9) (7/1 +13%) Mercurius Power
7
7/1(+13%)
(9) Mercurius Power 7/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this course (8f) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly. On a 15-race losing sequence but effective here and has dropped down the weights.
5th
1
5th (1) (50/1 -257%) Purple Gown
50
50/1(-257%)
(1) Purple Gown 50/1, Finally came good for Jim Bolger at Leopardstown (1m) in April. Showed she can make an impact from her current mark when second at Hamilton in September but not quite scaled same heights either start since. Runner-up in September but poor strike-rate and has stamina to prove now back up in trip.
6th
10
6th (10) (40/1 -100%) Reginald Charles
40
40/1(-100%)
(10) Reginald Charles 40/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others have achieved more. Well treated on form as recently as July, but plenty to prove on first run beyond 1m.
7th
11
7th (11) (9/1 +0%) Fitz Perfectly
9
9/1(+0%)
(11) Fitz Perfectly 9/1, 8/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 24 days ago, carrying head a little awkwardly and never dangerous. Mark has eased a little more at least. 0-9 but interesting now back up in trip for Newmarket trainer who has a good record here.
8th
3
8th (3) (11/2 +61%) Don't Look Back
5.5
11/2(+61%)
(3) Don't Look Back 11/2, In reasonable form prior to a tame effort at Ayr last time. Might have found that race coming too soon and he's been dropped a few pounds since, so not discounted. Below par at Ayr last time but has edged down the weights; a possible if back on song.
9th
8
9th (8) (14/1 -133%) We Still Believe
14
14/1(-133%)
(8) We Still Believe 14/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win here in September. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.4f, 20/1) 8 days ago, never nearer. Return to class 6 company rates a plus. Two-time C&D Winner who has been in good form here of late; on the shortlist.
10th
12
10th (12) (8/1 -14%) Balqaa
8
8/1(-14%)
(12) Balqaa 8/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago, forced wide entering straight and staying on. Both career victories have come at this venue and she's not out of things from this reduced mark. C&D winner who was a good third at Wolverhampton last time and is firmly in calculations.
11th
7
11th (7) (100/1 -733%) Red Derek
100
100/1(-733%)
(7) Red Derek 100/1, Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good, 16/1). Off 164 days. Significantly back down in trip. Went close on penultimate start but returns from some time off and has modest strike-rate.
LTO Selection:
16:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The unexposed MY HARRISON GEORGE put in a career best when third over this trip at Ayr on his most recent outing in August and he gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark in a moderate contest. Balqaa made the frame in a similar event at Wolverhampton last time and has to be of interest, while We Still Believe and Isle of Wolves are also noted.
This looks wide open but MERCURIUS POWER has fallen to a potentially handy mark and having not been disgraced over shorter here on his most recent outing 18 days ago, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. We Still Believe ran well in a higher grade latest and is feared, with My Harrison George and Balqaa others to consider.
The 3yo filly FITZ PERFECTLY hinted at Chelmsford that she could be suited by this step back up in trip and she can get off the mark.
(6) Magic Fluke 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Roger Varian when ninth of 11 in minor event (33/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 43 days ago, hampered. Makes handicap debut. Makes handicap debut off a modest mark and his Newmarket trainer has a good record here.

4
2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Professor Tickle
5
5/1(+29%)
(4) Professor Tickle 5/1, 11/2, good second of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, left behind by winner final 100 yds. Merits consideration back down in trip. 0-6 in nurseries but running well in these blinkers and could be thereabouts.
3
8
3rd (8) (12/1 -200%) Wichahpi
12
12/1(-200%)
(8) Wichahpi 12/1, Sioux Nation filly who made it 2 wins from 4 starts in handicaps with a dominant display in 18-runner Leicester nursery (6f) 4 weeks ago. 6 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent her going well again on that evidence. Made it 2-3 in these cheekpieces when prevailing in a big field at Leicester; progressive.
4
10
4th (10) (16/1 -100%) Madame Christine
16
16/1(-100%)
(10) Madame Christine 16/1, 9/1, respectable sixth of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, never better than midfield. Others rate stronger. Did fairly well when sixth at Wolverhampton last time given that things didn't go her way.
5th
11
5th (11) (16/1 +0%) Calafrio
16
16/1(+0%)
(11) Calafrio 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 12 in nursery at this C&D (100/1) 25 days ago, short of room briefly 1f out but keeping on. Return to 7f may suit ideally. Fair fifth over C&D on nursery debut; each-way possibilities if building on it.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/2 +40%) Glory Hyde
4.5
9/2(+40%)
(2) Glory Hyde 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at this course (5f) 25 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now stepping back up in trip. Has shown ability but needs something extra on this first handicap start.
7th
9
7th (9) (40/1 -82%) Chat Up Line
40
40/1(-82%)
(9) Chat Up Line 40/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. Last of 6 in nursery (13/2) at Carlisle (5f, good) 67 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and likely type to bounce back. May have been unsuited by fast ground latest; otherwise pretty consistent since July win.
8th
5
8th (5) (4/1 +56%) Inspiring Speeches
4
4/1(+56%)
(5) Inspiring Speeches 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 11 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 29 days ago, staying on final 1f. Makes tapeta debut. Respected. Has shown ability and was a fair fourth on nursery debut, but improvement is necessary.
9th
1
9th (1) (10/3 +17%) Vitarli
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(1) Vitarli 10/3, 13/2, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at this course (5f) 5 days ago, making all and closed down only late on. Claims once more under a penalty. In top form over 5f the last twice & wasn't stopping either time; respected under penalty.
10th
7
10th (7) (33/1 -83%) Blue Eyed Kate
33
33/1(-83%)
(7) Blue Eyed Kate 33/1, Blue Point filly who hasn't progressed from debut, last of 7 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 64 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hood on 1st time. Major turnaround needed in a first-time hood on her AW debut.
11th
3
11th (3) (5/1 +33%) Invincible Siam
5
5/1(+33%)
(3) Invincible Siam 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 64 days ago, not quicken over 1f out. Tongue tie fitted now attentions switch to handicaps and no surprise to see her do better for good stable. Half-sister to two Tapeta winners who is open to further improvement on AW/handicap debut.
12th
12
12th (12) (150/1 -275%) Showmethewayhome
150
150/1(-275%)
(12) Showmethewayhome 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 100/1) 17 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara. Makes handicap debut. Makes nursery/stable debut off a basement mark but improvement is needed.
LTO Selection:
16:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Vitarli merits respect following her win over 5f here last week but a 6lb penalty for that success is an obvious concern. With that in mind, preference is for INVINCIBLE SIAM, who has shown plenty of promise in novice/maiden company and an opening mark of 65 should be workable, especially as she may improve for a first-time tongue-tie. Others to consider are Professor Tickle and Inspiring Speeches.
WICHAHPI never really looked in much danger under a forceful ride when making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in nurseries at Leicester 4 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent her going well again back on all weather. Recent course winner Vitarli and Professor Tickle head up the dangers, with Inspiring Speeches another worth keeping an eye on.
Newmarket trainer George Boughey won this last year and INVINCIBLE SIAM earns the vote on her AW and nursery debut.
(1) Strong Johnson 6/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. 25/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 17 days ago. Weighted to go well if back on his A-game. Down the field the last twice but on slow turf; two wins this year and could be involved.
2
4
2nd (4) (9/2 +0%) Castan
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(4) Castan 9/2, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 36 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's still not taken lightly. Back to form with C&D win last month and is unexposed on AW; could have more to offer.
3
6
3rd (6) (17/2 -42%) Treacherous
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(6) Treacherous 17/2, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Goodwood (6f, soft) 23 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. 9yo who has been in good form over 6f; not ruled out now back down in trip.
4
7
4th (7) (5/2 +38%) Khabib
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(7) Khabib 5/2, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good, 10/1) 31 days ago. Well in the mix. Went close at Redcar last month and this two-time C&D winner could be bang there once more.
5th
9
5th (9) (14/1 -100%) Albegone
14
14/1(-100%)
(9) Albegone 14/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 10/1, won 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Much respected on his tapeta debut despite taking a 3 lb rise. Inconsistent this season but three wins from last six starts and entitled to respect.
6th
3
6th (3) (40/1 -100%) Flag Flying
40
40/1(-100%)
(3) Flag Flying 40/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft, 40/1) 53 days ago. Eyeshields/tongue strap on for 1st time with work to do. Lightly raced 3yo; major turnaround needed in first-time eyeshield/tongue-tie combination.
7th
2
7th (2) (4/1 +33%) Nelson Gay
4
4/1(+33%)
(2) Nelson Gay 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Suffered a poor run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good, 9/2) 31 days ago. Player. 4-5 on Tapeta (including a C&D win) and he should play a leading role.
8th
5
8th (5) (16/1 -60%) Open Market
16
16/1(-60%)
(5) Open Market 16/1, Unreliable individual. 7/2, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft). Off 158 days. Others have achieved more. Returns from a break on a competitive mark but this headstrong filly isn't straightforward.
9th
8
9th (8) (7/1 -17%) Reigning Profit
7
7/1(-17%)
(8) Reigning Profit 7/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in May. Off 5 months and not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago. Needs considering with that run under his belt. Close 3rd in this last year; fair run at Lingfield recently after break; could build on it.
LTO Selection:
17:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Albegone and Castan are last-time-out winners who have to be high on the shortlist but preference is for KHABIB. The five-year-old is a dual C&D winner and he bounced back to form when beaten a head into second on his most recent outing at Redcar. Off just a 2lb higher mark, it would be no surprise to see him go one better here.
NELSON GAY didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Redcar last time out and can quickly resume winning ways back on the AW. Reigning Profit should be all the better for his recent Lingfield fourth after an absence so rates the chief threat, although both Khabib and Strong Johnson can have a say too in a competitive handicap.
(6) Pockley 6/1, 5-time course winner. 33/1, refused to race in handicap at Southwell (5f) 55 days ago. Unreliable individual. Lots of good form here but comes with major warning having refused to race at Southwell.
2
8
2nd (8) (18/1 -80%) Show Me Show Me
18
18/1(-80%)
(8) Show Me Show Me 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. 11/2, below-par fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won two in a row in August but hasn't shone on his four subsequent starts.
3
3
3rd (3) (11/4 +21%) Milbanke
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(3) Milbanke 11/4, First run since leaving Ruth Carr when winning 8-runner handicap (5/2) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 40 days ago, just holding on. Big shout despite taking a 3 lb rise. Showed good pace to win over 6f at Pontefract; this first crack at 5f is well worth a go.
4
2
4th (2) (33/1 -340%) Ey Up It's Maggie
33
33/1(-340%)
(2) Ey Up It's Maggie 33/1, Latest win at Ripon in August. 13/2, fair fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Much respected on her tapeta debut. Fair efforts since winning in August and might not be far away; AW debut.
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 -33%) Rambuso Creek
4
4/1(-33%)
(4) Rambuso Creek 4/1, Having had a second wind op, got back to winning ways returned to 5f when scoring at Leicester (good) 28 days ago. Remains on a workable mark so he can be thereabouts if in the same sort of form. Did it in good style at Leicester last time after a wind op; 5lb rise may not stop him.
6th
7
6th (7) (16/5 +20%) Le Beau Garcon
3.2
16/5(+20%)
(7) Le Beau Garcon 16/5, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Solid place claims once more. Runner-up at Musselburgh last time when back down to 5f and could be in the mix once more.
7th
1
7th (1) (7/1 +30%) Royal Parade
7
7/1(+30%)
(1) Royal Parade 7/1, Latest win at Goodwood in June. 28/1, last of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 45 days ago, slowly away. Others have achieved more. Patchy form and may be better at 6f, but ran really well on sole previous course visit.
8th
5
8th (5) (16/1 -14%) Vadamiah
16
16/1(-14%)
(5) Vadamiah 16/1, 6/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Down the field at Musselburgh latest but runner-up at Ripon previously; not ruled out.
9th
9
9th (9) (22/1 -57%) Astapor
22
22/1(-57%)
(9) Astapor 22/1, 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in July. 66/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago, going off too hard. In the mix. Four 5f wins earlier this year; didn't see out 6f here recently; could be firmly involved.
LTO Selection:
17:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MILBANKE has fared well with a high draw and, off just 3lb higher than his Pontefract success, he is an appealing option reverting to the all-weather. Having already won on Tapeta at Wolverhampton, the surface doesn't present much of an issue and a bold showing is expected with Ryan Sexton retaining the ride. Previous C&D winner Show Me Show Me is feared most, with Rambuso Creek another to bear in mind.
MILBANKE made a winning debut for Julie Camacho at Pontefract last time and is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise given the verve she went through the race with. Le Beau Garcon is on a long losing run but seems sure to go well once more while Astapor and Rambuso Creek also need factoring in.
Preference is for ASTAPOR, who has won four times over 5f this year and showed bundles of speed before fading over 6f here last week.
(8) Eldrickjones 3/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. Respectable third of 13 in handicap at York (7f, heavy, 14/1) 25 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Running well (chiefly here) following wind surgery and he can give another good account.
2
2
2nd (2) (15/2 +38%) Shaladar
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(2) Shaladar 15/2, Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 31 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes tapeta debut. 0-9 this year but has run some really good races and could be bang there on AW debut.
3
10
3rd (10) (17/2 -6%) Power Of Darkness
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(10) Power Of Darkness 17/2, Latest win at Salisbury in September. Good second of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7.1f) 36 days ago, challenging final 1f and keeping on. Possibilities again in present groove. Won at Salisbury in September and has since gone close here; he's a possible.
4
1
4th (1) (6/1 +0%) Ron O
6
6/1(+0%)
(1) Ron O 6/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Redcar in August. Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap back at that venue (8f, good, 11/2) 31 days ago. Respected back on AW. Three-time C&D winner who has been in good form on turf and is firmly in calculations.
5th
5
5th (5) (18/1 -64%) Tele Red
18
18/1(-64%)
(5) Tele Red 18/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (11/8) at Ayr (8f, soft) 35 days ago, tackled final 1f and finding extra. Not taken lightly. Three wins on turf this year but well beaten over C&D last October on sole AW run.
6th
4
6th (4) (9/1 +10%) Young Fire
9
9/1(+10%)
(4) Young Fire 9/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 18 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in August. 25/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Four wins this year (including C&D) and good third at Wolverhampton last time; contender.
7th
11
7th (11) (7/1 +36%) O G Beachwear
7
7/1(+36%)
(11) O G Beachwear 7/1, Winner at Catterick (6f, soft) in September. Very good second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 25/1) 31 days ago, sticking to task and just failing. Unexposed at this trip and respected on AW debut from 1 lb higher mark. Finished strongly over 7f on handicap debut & has potential now tackling 1m for first time.
8th
12
8th (12) (12/1 +25%) Cori Glory
12
12/1(+25%)
(12) Cori Glory 12/1, Winner at Beverley in June. 28/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, having run of race. This rates tougher. Easy lead when going close over C&D last time, but unexposed on AW and not ruled out.
9th
3
9th (3) (14/1 -40%) Kingmania
14
14/1(-40%)
(3) Kingmania 14/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 9/1) 55 days ago, very slowly away and making little impression. Remains unexposed on artificial surfaces so she's not one to write off. Below best at Southwell latest but Newmarket trainer does well here & she's not ruled out.
10th
6
10th (6) (11/1 +56%) Spioradalta
11
11/1(+56%)
(6) Spioradalta 11/1, Latest win at Chester in July. 20/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Return to calmer waters rates a plus but present mark demands little bit more. Enjoyed good 3yo campaign in the main and he faced a tough task last time; not discounted.
11th
9
11th (9) (18/1 +18%) Harswell Duke
18
18/1(+18%)
(9) Harswell Duke 18/1, 9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 27 days ago, slowly away. Blinkered for 1st time. Won the Spring Mile off 6lb higher in April but has struggled to get competitive since.
12th
7
12th (7) (33/1 -175%) Crownthorpe
33
33/1(-175%)
(7) Crownthorpe 33/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Good second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft, 13/2), better placed than most. Off 6 months. Absent since April but stable enjoying very productive autumn and he's a 2-time C&D winner.
LTO Selection:
18:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With the form of last month's Ayr success working out well, the versatile TELE RED is fancied to make light work of a 3lb rise in this company. The selection wasn't at his best the last time he raced on this surface but it is safe to say he's progressed a lot since. Crownthorpe and Eldrickjones are in-form rivals who can ensure this goes down to the wire.
ELDRICKJONES has been resurgent following a wind op, posting solid back-to-back efforts at this venue prior to a good third at York (7f) on his latest outing 25 days ago. Remaining on a workable mark back on AW, he's expected to make his presence felt again, with 3-y-o O G Beachwear, Ron O and Power of Darkness head up the dangers.
The strong-finishing effort from O G BEACHWEAR over 7f at Newmarket last time suggests she is open to improvement now upped to 1m.
(1) Panama City 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 18 days ago, slowly away and struggling long way out. Best watched. Close third at Beverley in August but positive runs have been scarce this season.
2
7
2nd (7) (7/4 +42%) Ledger
1.75
7/4(+42%)
(7) Ledger 7/4, First run since leaving Paul Traynor, 13/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Unexposed as a miler and of interest again under a penalty now he's back on track. Ex-Irish 3yo; won over C&D on recent stable debut and could have more to offer for yard.

5/1(+17%)
(9) Annalee Lass 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. Good 2¾ lengths third of 11 to Ledger in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 7 days ago. Can give a good account again. Third to Ledger over C&D recently following a break and may be able to build on that run.

4th (8) (9/1 +0%) Royal Prospect
9
9/1(+0%)
(8) Royal Prospect 9/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form. Second over C&D on stable debut; midfield over C&D since but could be involved if settling.
5th

5th (2) (4/1 +20%) Pop Favorite
4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Pop Favorite 4/1, Multiple winner here who posted another creditable effort when second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 8 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Should continue in form with her record around here a solid one (4-time C&D winner). Three C&D wins this year and good runs in defeat over C&D the last twice; player.
6th

6th (10) (12/1 -50%) Two Rivers
12
12/1(-50%)
(10) Two Rivers 12/1, Unreliable maiden. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal for win purposes on balance. 0-14 but fair fourth over C&D last Tuesday and he's not ruled out each-way.
7th

7th (6) (22/1 -38%) Retirement Beckons
22
22/1(-38%)
(6) Retirement Beckons 22/1, 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle (7.8f) in August. 16/1, below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (8f, heavy) 26 days ago, fading from 2f out. Soundly beaten fifth the last twice but three wins this year and dangerous to dismiss.
8th

8th (5) (9/1 -50%) Prince Hector
9
9/1(-50%)
(5) Prince Hector 9/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Very good 3½ lengths fourth of 11 to Ledger in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, beaten only by a trio played later. Visor back on. Shortlist material. 0-19 but fair fourth over C&D last Tuesday and he's an each-way possible.
9th

9th (11) (25/1 -150%) Techno Lady
25
25/1(-150%)
(11) Techno Lady 25/1, Good fourth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago, driven under 4f out and keeping on. That may not prove her limit at this sort of trip. Fair fourth at Wolverhampton recently when back from a break and she could improve for it.
10th

10th (4) (40/1 -100%) Keeponbelieving
40
40/1(-100%)
(4) Keeponbelieving 40/1, Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 7 days ago, always behind. Headgear quickly discarded now but recent exploits hardly inspire confidence in any case. Lightly raced 3yo who showed promise here in spring, but beaten a long way the last twice.
11th
12
11th (12) (100/1 -100%) Selby's Joy
100
100/1(-100%)
(12) Selby's Joy 100/1, 80/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) in July, racing off the pace and never on terms. Much more needed if she's to figure back from a break. Well beaten in all three handicaps (5f-7f) and others have far less to prove.
LTO Selection:
19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
POP FAVORITE possibly hit the front too soon when he was just run out of things near the finish here last week, but it was still an encouraging enough effort and he gets the vote off the same mark. Ledger showed guts to win over C&D last Tuesday and also rates highly under a 6lb penalty, while Annalee Lass and Two Rivers are a couple of others expected to be heavily involved.
PRINCE HECTOR has fallen to a career-low mark and fared best of those ridden prominently when finishing fourth behind Ledger in a C&D event 7 days ago. With a visor back on, he could be worth chancing to come out on top on this occasion, with the aforementioned Ledger, Annalee Lass and 4-time C&D winner Pop Favorite heading up the dangers.
The ex-Irish 3yo LEDGER made a winning start for Lucinda Russell over C&D last Tuesday and is taken to defy a 6lb penalty.
(3) Ratafia 9/4, 11/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a player. Off the mark at Redcar last month when clear with the runner-up; respected up 5lb.

18/1(+0%)
(8) Clotherholme 18/1, Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022, though. Fair third over C&D on last two visits to Newcastle and has each-way claims.

17/2(+6%)
(4) Cheese The One 17/2, Course winner. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/2) 14 days ago, never nearer. Can give a good account. Course winner who has continued in good form since scoring at Wolverhampton in August.

4th (7) (9/1 -13%) Rum Runner

9/1(-13%)
(7) Rum Runner 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Third over C&D two starts ago then denied a clear run when mid-division here most recently.

5th (10) (8/1 -60%) Van Zant

8/1(-60%)
(10) Van Zant 8/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/2) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Place claims once more. 0-17 but runner-up at Wolverhampton latest; in the shake-up if again on a going day.

(5) Tiger Trap 7/1, 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 3yo whose mark continues to fall but he's been unable to threaten in his five handicaps.

(1) See My Baby Jive 9/2, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in July. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 21 days ago. Needs considering. 5l second to well-handicapped winner over this C&D three weeks ago; contender.

7/1(+50%)
(6) Malham Tarn Cove 7/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist. Kept on for fifth over 6f here recently and the step back up to 7f is worth a go.
9th

14/1(-87%)
(9) Highland Queen 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 39 days ago. Can make presence felt. 0-16 but some positive performances in recent months and an each-way case can be made.
10th

10th (12) (125/1 -213%) Lincoln Red
125
125/1(-213%)
(12) Lincoln Red 125/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 10 in minor event (40/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 75 days ago. Something to find on form. Went close twice in a row in summer 2022 but he's struggled to get competitive since.
11th

(2) Rockonmecca 28/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 7/2). Off 123 days. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. Has work to do. Has run well when new headgear has been applied and wears a first-time visor today.

66
66/1(-65%)
(11) Crown Bridges 66/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 7 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 3yo who has dropped to a basement mark but for a good reason.
LTO Selection:
19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Ratafia won for the first time at Redcar last month, but his record on the all-weather is five runs and five unplaced efforts, so he will need to improve to follow up. CHEESE THE ONE is narrowly preferred with a win at Wolverhampton in August and a half-length fourth at the same track last month. Christian Howarth claiming 3lb in the saddle is an added bonus, while Rockonmecca is an interesting alternative if a first-time visor has the desired effect.
RATAFIA still looks handily weighted despite taking a 5 lb rise for his recent Redcar success so he gets the vote in this open-looking sprint. Highland Queen is still to register a victory but arrives in good order and can chase home Michael Herrington's 5-y-o ahead of in-form pair Van Zant and Rum Runner.
The filly CHEESE THE ONE has been running consistently well of late and can win here for a second time. Ratafia is a danger.
(3) Souffionne 5/2, 14/1 and tongue strap on, fourth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 28 days ago. Should improve. Fourth on last month's Southwell debut and the form has been franked; respected.
2
1
2nd (1) (9/4 +25%) Moon Flight
2.25
9/4(+25%)
(1) Moon Flight 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. Hood on 1st time. In the mix. Starting to look exposed, but second in both starts over 7f including here; hood on.

3rd (4) (11/10 -51%) Britannica
1.1
11/10(-51%)
(4) Britannica 11/10, Fair maiden. Third of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 11/4) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes tapeta debut. Leading form claims. Not progresssing but did well to finish third at Kempton last time; likely to go close.

4th (2) (150/1 -50%) Muddy Marvellous
150
150/1(-50%)
(2) Muddy Marvellous 150/1, 200/1, last of 9 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut 7 days ago, slowly away. Needs a big step forward. Tailed off on his debut over 1m here seven days ago.
LTO Selection:
20:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Just the four runners here so it could get tactical, which ought to suit BRITANNICA more than her rivals. She has pulled too hard in the past but could be allowed to bowl along in front and set her own pace. Moon Flight is an obvious danger if the first-time hood brings him back to his best after a below-par fourth at Wolverhampton, while the once-raced Souffionne could come home in third.
BRITANNICA holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to open her account at the sixth attempt at the chief expense of Moon Flight who should find this return to further to her benefit. Souffionne should build on his debut Southwell fourth and can also have a say.
The vote goes to MOON FLIGHT who has finished runner-up in both starts over 7f, including here.
(8) Dandys Gold 33/1, C&D winner. Only seventh of 12 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7.1f) 21 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. On a reduced mark but she's finished no better than seventh across her last five starts.

2nd (1) (6/4 +45%) Sydney Bay
1.5
6/4(+45%)
(1) Sydney Bay 6/4, Gained his second win from 4 runs this year in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (85/40) 7 days ago by ¾ length from Blackcurrent. Well on top at the finish there so he merits serious consideration under a penalty. 2-2 since joining this yard and has to be respected under a 5lb penalty.
3
10
3rd (10) (28/1 +15%) Little Red Dancer
28
28/1(+15%)
(10) Little Red Dancer 28/1, Winner at Catterick in May. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 20/1). Off 125 days. Needs to bounce back. Well beaten on last three starts in the summer but returns with trainer having fine autumn.

4th (9) (7/2 +36%) Blackcurrent

7/2(+36%)
(9) Blackcurrent 7/2, 6-time course winner. Latest win here in September. 9/1, good ¾-length second of 11 to Sydney Bay in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Not taken lightly. Won over C&D in September and has gone close over C&D the next twice; very solid claims.
5th

5th (4) (9/1 +10%) Gowanbuster
9
9/1(+10%)
(4) Gowanbuster 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Enters calculations. 8yo who is on a long losing sequence but this three-time course winner ran well last time.
6th
2
6th (2) (4/1 +11%) Kraken Power
4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Kraken Power 4/1, Course winner. 4/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Plenty of good efforts here this year and every chance he'll be in the mix.
7th
5
7th (5) (18/1 -200%) Garifullina
18
18/1(-200%)
(5) Garifullina 18/1, 4/1, very good third of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 34 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark with few miles still on the clock. Lightly raced 3yo who was a close third at Catterick last month; has a chance.
8th
12
8th (12) (10/1 +50%) Fighting Chance
10
10/1(+50%)
(12) Fighting Chance 10/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Sydney Bay in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Shortlisted. 19-race maiden but he's run well over C&D on his last three starts and has each-way claims.
9th

9th (3) (20/1 -82%) Two Summers
20
20/1(-82%)
(3) Two Summers 20/1, 5/2, nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good). Off 171 days with work to do. Absent since heavy defeat in May but returns to action with yard going well.
LTO Selection:
20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Sydney Bay may prove popular looking for a C&D hat-trick, but his last win was by less than a length and a 5lb penalty will make his life that bit more difficult. He can still go well but a chance is taken on BLACKCURRENT, who was three-quarters of a length behind the winner in second that day but now 2lb better off. Kraken Power rates best of the rest.
GARIFULLINA is less exposed than most of these and signalled she is ready to open her account when a very good Catterick third last time so looks the way to go off an unchanged mark. Sydney Bay rates a big danger though under a penalty for his emphatic C&D success, with fellow course scorers Blackcurrent and Gowanbuster also firmly in the mix.
Sydney Bay and Blackcurrent (second choice) are respected but they could both be beaten by NICKLEBY who is on a handy mark.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
